I say that only in that I'm a college student, and nobody knows broke like students. That said, I've recently started blogging about McDonald's, and commonly tackle issues like how to make the most of the Dollar Menu, what value you really get out of Value Meals, and what the best way to get 20 McNuggets for the lowest price is. I've also discussed relationships with other fast-food joints like Wendy's and BK. So, not to shamelessly plug my own blog, but I think it's an interesting comparison to what you have here:<br><br><a href="http://underthegoldenarches.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://underthegoldenarches.blogspot.com/</a><br><br>Hope you enjoy,<br>George Recession aside, I've been tackling economic and financial hard times for a good deal longer than most people.

Sorry, but you and Sara both missed the real value story. It's that millions of people are forced to eat from the menus due to a lack of nutritious food affordability and access. Millions of people do not have refrigeration and cooking facilities. They can't access affordable fresh fruits, vegetables, low fat dairy and eggs.

So they eat in order to survive and to achieve satiety. That means eating the cheapest filling, calorie dense, but nutritionally empty garbage.

You find the story appealing because you eat from those menus solely by choice – the novelty.

The real shame is that millions eat from them out of necessity, and they suffer directly from it.
